NFL Week 17, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider

1. 49ers clinch top overall seed by defeating Seahawks

Football fans will be in for a major treat on Sunday night when the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks square off with the NFC West title on the line.

Despite the Seahawks finishing on the winning end during the first meeting between these rivals, the circumstances will be much different this time around that could benefit the 49ers in a big way.

For starters, Seattle has unfortunately been dealing with numerous injuries over the last couple of weeks, and it certainly came as a major surprise to watch the team come up short last weekend at home against the Arizona Cardinals.

If the Seahawks struggled the way they did against the Cardinals, the 49ers should be feeling extra confident in being able to do the same since they are clearly the better team.

All season, San Francisco has been considered one of the top teams to beat in the NFC, and even appeared to be a lock to appear in the Super Bowl a few months ago.

Defeating the Seahawks will be far from easy, but with the injury factor on top of looking for revenge from earlier in the season, the 49ers should be able to pull out the win in this one to officially earn that top seed.
